Picking my jaw up off the floor... Oh well, if he ends up with the Jets it helps my fantasy team, cause I have the first pick in the rookie draft of my dynasty league!

Reggie Bush overrated? That's probably too harsh a word, plus, we don't know the answer to that yet. But can expectations be impossibly high for a player like him? Absolutely. Especially when the Texans don't have an offensive line that can block for him in the first place.

I don't have a problem with the signing. Finding a dominant defensive end is almost as hard as finding a franchise quarterback. But once you've found one, they're irreplaceable, and it does wonders for a defense.

I just don't know how much anyone could expect out of Reggie Bush, especially in Houston. It's kinda like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titantic.

I dont know why everyone is so up in arms about this. Granted, I said from the second they were the #1 pick, that the Texans should have traded down, but I think it takes some balls to not pick Reggie Bush and I agree with Houstons decision to think about the team and where they can fill holes. They dont need to fill holes at running back. I think they are making the right decision in not picking a running back.

However....how did they not trade down??? They could have traded with the Jets at four and I'd be shocked if Mario Williams didn't fall to them there. So I think its a huge mistake on that front, as they defintley could have acquired alot more for that pick.

I like that they are not taking Bush, but I dont like how they went about it.

I'm with you on this up to the point about Mario Williams falling to #4. I don't think there's anyway he'd make it past the Saints.

Well, where has Tomlinson taken the Chargers? Don't get me wrong, he's probably the best running back in the league right now, but that right there tells you that running backs are usually not the players that singlehandedly guide a team to the promised land.

Portis didnt do it for us. It takes a good line to make a good running bak great. ie Emmit Smith.

If the Jets trade up to 2, select Bush, and the fans tear down the music hall...do they cancel the draft?

No, it then turns into a tailgate party featuring Tagliabue.

If the Jets trade up to get Bush,, all hell will break loose in NY.
It will be called the Best Jets draft ever. A super running back in the Big Apple, sounds like a plan

Obviously you are one of those people who think that Bush is actually a full time running back. I'm sorry!
